Summary
Self-taught 3D artist, since 2000.
Active servicemen with the US military, since 2008, and potentially retiring in 3~4 years.
Military History and Aircraft enthusiast, since 1990.
Started out drawing with pencil and paper as most kids do, progressed to plastic models in middle school, and then in my early teens to CGI... First taste of 3D modelling was using Milkshape and Truespace on a 2nd-hand 400MHz desktop in the early 2000's, and then progressively upgraded systems and software, using various versions of EOVIA/DAZ3D Carrara and Photoshop CS, since the mid-2000's. Have also dabbled with Blender and C4D a bit, but just can't seem to make the switch... Carrara is very capable, but it is a medium-low end suite, compared to the mainstream offerings.
Current Toolkit:
- Primary 3D software: DAZ3D (formerly EOVIA) CARRARA 8.5 PRO
- Primary 2D software: Adobe Photoshop CS6
- Current workstation
- MB: AX370-Gaming K7
- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5800X
- RAM: 64GB (3600MHz Quad-Channel)
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 3070
- Display: 3x BENQ 27" 1080p
Primary interest/projects are aircraft and sci-fi, but I have dabbled in a little bit of everything, but my strength is definitely aircraft.
A hobbyist, I have done several projects on contract and even have a couple of donated pieces hanging up in various military bases headquarters.
Longtime member of Military-meshes.com and Scifi-meshes.com, as well as the now defunct Foundation3D.
